so i have the only original key to the rx7...
i broke it

now the key is in 2 pieces

i have the title and everything, but... what do i do

i cant open the door, i cant turn the ignition... what now? its THE KEY and i broked it

 

sign the title and send it to me. jp. i think u can go to the dealship with your vin number and they will cut u a key. or u can get a locksmith to make you one if u give him the lock.

 

i second taking the vin to a dealer. the key cut is supposed to be saved in their database

 

see what u can do the get the two pieces together and then take it somewhere to cut keys. I was able to like epoxy the two halfs together long enough to cut a duplicate

 

thank you!
so the dealer does have it?! sweet.

 

The dealership can build the key off the VIN. You just need to bring proof of ownership of the car.

 

I just had a local locksmith do mine it costed me like $70 for 2 keys.

 

A good locksmith can make you a copy as long as you have the two pieces or the original key.

 

Did he use lube at least?.... I get keys cut by the locksmith for 2 dollars each.( that included him probeing the ign and door locks to get them correct on both ) Send me your key and i can get you about 35 keys for the same price

 

Yeah, just call a few locksmiths out of the Yellow Pages, explain your situation and get some rough quotes. Cutting a key using a variety of methods to determine the correct tumbler pattern is no biggie. If nothing else, take your door lock out and take to the locksmith, he can look at the numbers on the tumblers and key one quickly.

It should be around 10 bucks for a pair of keys. And the scary thing is, in my experience most dealerships don't even ask for the proof of ownership.

 

Just got two keys cut for my car via the dealer. I don't like the generic keys as they sometimes do not work right every time due to variations in the cuts.

They ALWAYS require proof of ownership before cutting the key.

It's not rocket science to cut new keys, extract any parts of the key stuck in the lock and give both parts to a locksmith and wait while he cuts you new keys. Keys are simple to make guys, a good smith can look at your keys stuck inside your car and cut you new ones on the spot outside your window. Shouldn't cost more than $50 for an emergency scenario like that.
